麻省理工学院（MIT）
语言学与哲学系
麻省理工学院（MIT）的语言与哲学系（Department of Linguistics and Philosophy）是全球语言学界最具声望的学术单位之一，长期以来在国际排名中位居前列。在最新发布的QS 2025年语言学学科排名中，该系荣登世界第一，再次印证了其在语言科学研究与教学领域的卓越地位。
麻省理工学院语言学系以形式语言学为核心，尤其在生成语法、句法学（syntax）、语义学（semantics）、语音学与音系学（phonetics & phonology）等核心领域有深远影响。作为乔姆斯基（Noam Chomsky）所开创的生成语言学传统的发源地之一，MIT 始终坚持理论深度与经验验证并重的研究取向，其语言学训练因逻辑严密与理论创新而备受推崇。
MIT 语言学的另一个突出特点是其对语言普遍性的理论建构与对个别语言的深入描写相结合。虽然其研究强调抽象模型与逻辑演绎，但大量研究者也重视通过田野调查和跨语言数据支持理论假设。
MIT 语言学的研究者不仅系统建构了人类语言能力的理论模型，还不断推动语言理论与心理语言学、认知科学的对话，使语言学成为一门具备科学范式的认知学科，鼓励学生从事原创性研究并投身于语言技术、人工智能、语言保存等交叉前沿领域。
